got get going down. >> amman, there is some buzz about a plan that romney hs apparently floated for basically a $17,000 cap on tax deductions for americans. explain it. you've crunched the number. what's the headline here? >> tyler, the headline here is that the romney campaign e-mailed me this morning on this. they say they want to make very clear this is not a specific proposal from governor romney, that he's just floating one idea among many. the idea that he's put out there though would be a $17,000 cap on deductions. you could take your mortgage deduction, charitable deductions or other deductions up to $17,000, and then no more. that would definitely raise taxes on some taxpayers, even if romney's able to bring the overall tax rates down, which he says he wants to do. who gets hurt in this scenario? people with huge mortgages. people who donate a lot of money to charity and people who have overall high deductions. they might lose more here than they gain by the rates being lowered overall. that is who's going to get squeezed under this proposal but the romney campaign saying not a speci

so i think what you're going to hear from the campaign is drilling down on what mitt romney said, trying to turn the focus on romney and his, quote, truthfulness, but that is not a defense of the president's performance and implicit acknowledgment he essentially wasn't that strong. >> let me play for you a comment that was made by jen sacky who is his campaign press secretary, because this defense was one of the most strident, i think i heard post-debate where she essentially says no way. this was a fabulous job -- let her say it and i want to ask you something on the other side. >> i don't think the american people make a judgment on who they are going to vote for by an poll coming out of a debate. they are not looking for an attacker in chief which is what mitt romney was. they are looking for a commander commander in chief. the president's calm delivered performance and him laying out his policies and where he wanted to move the country forward. >> so, jessica. charles blow from "the new york times" who said earlier on this program the obama campaign must learn from this blunder, stro
